The Kick Off Arena — Pickup Football in Canggu, Bali

The Kick Off Arena sits on Jl. Subak Sari in Kerobokan Kelod, in Badung Regency, right in the Canggu area. If you have searched for it under any of those names, it is the same place.

It is a latest-generation synthetic pitch, floodlit for evening football, with changing rooms and parking on site. It is open air, so you play under the lights rather than in a warehouse. There is no roof, which is worth planning around in wet season.

KickHub runs at least one game here every day, sometimes two, in the evening. A spot costs 172,000 to 200,000 IDR per player, around 10 to 12 USD, paid in the app. The first spots in each game are the cheapest. There is no membership and no minimum. You book the games you play.

The crowd is deliberately mixed: expats, locals, digital nomads, people who played at a decent level once and people who last played at school. Teams are sorted on the day and balanced by level, so all levels are genuinely welcome. Most people come for the football and leave with a few numbers in their phone, which in a place like Canggu is one of the easiest ways to actually meet people.
